Meet the new Joey at Boo at the Zoo

Trick or treating, mascot visits and plenty of animals await little ones at Boo at the Zoo Saturday and Sunday.

Children can wear their costumes and trick or treat all around the Schnecksville zoo 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

While at the zoo, children may get a glimpse of the zoo’s newest resident, a baby red kangaroo. The joey first stuck its head out of the pouch at the end of September. The baby is the second for kangaroos Sylvia and Spitz and will join its big brother on exhibit in the Kangaroo Walkabout.

Enjoy music all day by DJ Jimbo Saturday and by Into-the-Sunset Entertainment Sunday on the zoo’s outdoor dining deck.

Meet some of education animals during animal encounter shows at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at Animal Exercise Area, and watch animal enrichment activities for camels, kangaroos, ravens, zebra, otters and gray fox three times daily. Meet additional animals and enjoy educational activities at the Zoomagination Wing both days.

Also on Saturday, get pictures taken at Dan's Camera Photo Booth and Sunday watch a demonstration by Lehigh Valley Martial Arts.

Visitors also can bid on more than 300 items in the ZOOrific Silent Auction at the Peacock Pavilion. All proceeds benefit Lehigh Valley Zoo. Bidding ends at 9 p.m. Sunday. Also bid online at www.lvzoo.org.
